Gateshead, Newcastle and North Tyneside councils need shot as they're absolutely clueless. It's like their actively trying to cause congestion everywhere. Gateshead in particular.
Least it makes a change to having a war with the barriers along Coatsworth with the Jews which mysteriously move every day. The pathetic thing is the same changes also affect buses so there's literally no win for anyone bar a few bikes (who don't exist).
It is a joke to which I literally no idea how they would re-route bus services towards Durham other than by either going up Beaconsfield Road and making very tight left on to Kells Lane along and back on to Durham Road at The Coach House or they go down Belle Vue Bank and turn left on Saltwell Road South and run along to Harlow Green to rejoin Durham Road.
I agree nobody is winning in this scenario it is just an inconvenience to everybody in the local area.
